The Public Relations Officer of Crux Global, Matilda Mensah Marfo, popularly known as Tilly Akua Nipaa, has been elected General Secretary of the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) at the University of Media, Arts and Communication.

Initially, she ran as Vice President alongside Kofi O.D. Asante, but a tie with a rival contestant led to a decision to restructure the ticket. The rival candidate was made Vice President to Kofi, while Tilly assumed the role of General Secretary.

“Yesterday, an unexpected yet critical situation forced KODA and I to make a difficult but necessary decision. Our shift, from KODA as President and myself as Vice President, to KODA as President and myself as General Secretary was intentional and strategic. It was a decision rooted in our commitment to ensuring that the challenges we encountered are never repeated for future GRASAG aspirants.

We could not, in good conscience, participate in a rerun where transparency was not guaranteed, where the absence of real-time backend access for our agents meant risking the will of voters in what could have been a predetermined outcome,” Tilly wrote on her social media pages.

According to her, the coalition, with KODA as President, represents more than a political adjustment; it is a stand for accountability, transparency, and a better system for the future of GRASAG.

“From the moment I joined TEAM KODA, my goal has been clear: to see KODA lead and to serve effectively within his administration. Today, I am proud to fulfil that purpose as General Secretary,” she added.

Recounting how she got on KODA’s ticket, she wrote: “On 1st March, when KODA reached out to me to be his running mate in the recent GRASAG elections, I had little knowledge of what GRASAG was or the dynamics at play. However, in just 24 days, I pushed myself to learn, adapt, and grow rapidly to understand the terrain and provide him with the support he needed. I am proud of how quickly I rose to the challenge.”
